Dancer at gay club in Oak Lawn stabbed in neck by woman in black

A woman working as a dancer at a gay club in Oak Lawn was stabbed multiple times by her ex-girlfriend early this morning, police say.

Officers responded to the incident at Station 4 in the 3900 block of Cedar Springs Road shortly before 2 a.m., according to a police report.

During the fight a female attacker cut the victim, 23-year-old Melissa Yung, with an unknown object, leaving a major laceration on the left side of her neck and others on her chest and abdomen, the report says.

Police say the suspect, identified as the dancer’s ex-girlfriend, was wearing all black and fled in an unknown direction after the fight. No arrests had been reported.

Yung was treated at the scene by medical officials, but refused to be taken to a hospital, saying she’d rather go to one in North Richland Hills.
